What is the output of the following program?#include<stdio.h> main(){ struct { int x;} var = {5}, *p = &var; printf("%d %d %d",var.x,p->x,(*p).x);}
-
5 5 5
-
5 5 garbage value
-
5 5 0
-
Compile error
Correct Answer
A. 5 5 5Explanation
The program defines a structure variable named "var" with an integer member "x" and initializes it to 5. It also declares a pointer variable "p" of the same structure type and assigns the address of "var" to it.
The printf statement prints the value of "var.x", "p->x", and "(*p).x". Since "var.x" is 5, "p->x" and "(*p).x" both access the value of "x" through the pointer "p", which points to "var". Therefore, all three values are 5.Rate this question:

What is the built in library function to adjust the allocated dynamic memory size.
-
Malloc
-
Calloc
-
Realloc
-
Resize
Correct Answer
A. ReallocExplanation
The correct answer is "realloc". The realloc function is a built-in library function in C that is used to adjust the size of dynamically allocated memory. It allows for the reallocation of memory blocks, either expanding or reducing their size. This function is particularly useful when the size of the memory needed by a program changes during its execution. By using realloc, the program can efficiently manage memory allocation and deallocation, optimizing the use of resources.Rate this question:

A Variable name in C includes which special symbols?
-
* (asterisk)
-
# (Hash)
-
+ (Addition)
-
_ (underscore)
Correct Answer
A. _ (underscore)Explanation
In C, a variable name can include the underscore symbol (_). This symbol is often used to separate words within a variable name to improve readability. For example, a variable name like "first_name" is more descriptive than "firstname". The other special symbols listed, such as asterisk, hash, and addition, are not allowed in variable names in C.Rate this question:

The correct order of mathematical operators in mathematics and computer programming,
-
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division
-
Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction
-
Multiplication, Addition, Division, Subtraction
-
Mathematical operators can be done in any order
Correct Answer
A. Division, Multiplication, Addition, SubtractionExplanation
In mathematics and computer programming, the correct order of mathematical operators is known as the order of operations. This order dictates that division should be done before multiplication, and multiplication should be done before addition and subtraction. This is because division and multiplication have higher precedence than addition and subtraction. Therefore, the correct order of mathematical operators is Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.Rate this question:

Compiler generates ___ file.
-
Executable code
-
Object code
-
Assembly code
-
None of above
Correct Answer
A. Object codeExplanation
A compiler generates object code files. Object code is the output of the compilation process, where the source code is translated into a lower-level representation that can be directly executed by the computer's hardware or combined with other object code files to create an executable program. Object code is specific to the target architecture and can be further processed by a linker to generate the final executable code. Assembly code is a human-readable representation of the machine code and is generated by an assembler, not a compiler. Therefore, the correct answer is object code.Rate this question:

-
3 2 1
-
3 3 3
-
Compile error
Correct Answer
A. 3 2 1Explanation
The program defines a function f() that has a static variable i initialized to 3. The function prints the value of i and then recursively calls itself with i decremented by 1. This process continues until i becomes 0. So, the output of the program will be 3 2 1.Rate this question:

Identify the incorrect file opening mode from the following.
-
R
-
W
-
X
-
A
Correct Answer
A. XExplanation
The incorrect file opening mode is "x". The file opening modes "r", "w", and "a" are valid modes in Python. "r" is used for reading a file, "w" is used for writing to a file (and overwriting the existing content), and "a" is used for appending content to a file. However, "x" is not a valid file opening mode in Python.Rate this question:

Which of the following statement shows the correct implementation of nested conditional operation by finding greatest number out of three numbers?
-
Max = a>b ? a>c?a:c:b>c?b:c
-
A=b ? c=30;
-
A>b : c=30 : c=40;
-
Return (a>b)?(a:b) ?a:c:b
Correct Answer
A. Max = a>b ? a>c?a:c:b>c?b:cExplanation
The correct implementation of nested conditional operation to find the greatest number out of three numbers is shown in the answer "max = a>b ? a>c?a:c:b>c?b:c". This statement uses nested ternary operators to compare the numbers and determine the maximum value. The first ternary operator compares a and b, and if a is greater, it compares a with c to determine the maximum. If b is greater, it compares b with c to determine the maximum. This way, the statement finds the greatest number among a, b, and c.Rate this question:

In C, if you pass an array as an argument to a function, what actually gets passed?
-
Value of elements in array
-
First element of the array
-
Base address of the array
-
Address of the last element of array
Correct Answer
A. Base address of the arrayExplanation
When an array is passed as an argument to a function in C, only the base address of the array is actually passed. This means that the memory address of the first element of the array is passed to the function. By using this base address, the function can access and manipulate the elements of the array.Rate this question:
